TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Barbara Stanwyck's stunt woman refused to allow herself to be dragged along a street by a horse, saying that it was too dangerous. Without further ado Stanwyck did it by herself. She got some bruises and scrapes, but was okay. At that time Stanwyck was 49 years old.

Inspired by the events involving Wyatt Earp and Tombstone with Drummond being a female version of Ike Clanton.

Although the on-screen credit for Eve Brent reads "and introducing", she had already appeared in several earlier films as Jean Ann Lewis.

For an early scene, Fuller wanted one continuous shot along the entire length of the frontier town's main street on Fox's back lot, which had been used in 100's of westerns. Various techniques were tried, including a camera mounted on a crane driving down the street, but Fuller was dissatisfied with the results. Eventually he had 50 workmen build 1000 feet of track to get the desired effect in one take. It remains the longest dolly shot in the studio's history.

Condemned in the US because of its brutal handling of the narrative, but praised in Europe for its stylistic vigor.
